[1000] Released Classic DB v1.5

Classic DB release version 1.5 'The Great Swimming Pool'

This release is compatible with revision z2656 of CMaNGOS-classic and comes with revision z2734 of SD2-classic and with latest ACID-classic

This release mainly focuses on resources nodes and pools with thousands of fixes. Hundred of wrong nodes were removed: no more thorium in Elwynn Forest or peacebloom in Eastern Plaguelands or other herbs/ores that should not be where they were. Many nodes were also adjusted. All zones now use the pool system: Felwood, Un'Goro Crater, Tanaris and some other areas no longer have dozen on resource nodes every yards. A new cell system has been introduced that will now prevent all resource nodes in a zone to spawn at the same place, leaving the full zone empty except for this spot: resources nodes are now evenly set across each zone. Also, average values of nodes in a zone have been updated: no more empty zones like Mulgore that previously had 8 total herbs in the whole zone, or Westfall with hundreds of spawns on the map.
These new settings may vary from zone to zone depending on how many nodes were originally sniffed and how many kinds of resources are available in a zone. Some zones are still more populated than others, some areas (usually few visited ones) are more empty but overall the gathering experience for players should be more enjoyable. The settings have been adjusted for a middle populated server. Many thanks for all the testers for their feedback.

We would like to thank all the contributors for their reports, fixes and tests, especially amongst them: Tobschinski, evil@wow, scotty0100, Swater96, Krullgor, Metalica, Zingzah, TheTrueAnimal, K59, trullynullified...

As always, very special thanks to the ScriptDev2, ACID, TBC-DB and the UDB teams as this release would not have been possible without their great and heavy contributions. Classic DB is a cross databases project and many of the updates are possible thanks to the great work of our fellow developers from other projects, with a special thank to Grz3s from UDB who increased the synergies between our two DB projects.

Many gossips, quests, items, NPCs, events, dungeons and raids were also fixed.
